One of the villagers tells you to look in the hills for a guy who has a job for you, name of Noah. The sign upon entering this place tells you it's Noah's Shack, so this is the place.This is several pages into his diary. Two pages ago was Noah scoffing at the idea of the save point in town, saying he was perfectly capable of warping space/time by himself. That was around day 50 or something.The Dragon is introduced back in the magic shop as the progenator of magic. So this guy's a good enough mage to travel through time, but doesn't have a whole lot of respect for tradition.Lyssa: Uh, sorry to bother you. We're just exploring.
Noah: Explorin'? You wouldn't happen to be adventurers, would ya?
Dren: Well, I guess we are...
Noah: Perfect! I've got a job for ya!
Lyssa: Great!
Noah: There's a water elemental in my well. Go kill it!
Lyssa: ... Uh, what?
Dren: Yeah, what?
Noah: What are you, deaf? I thought I was the old man!
Noah: I said: There's.
Noah: A.
Noah: Water.
Noah: Elemental.
Noah: In.
Noah: My.
Noah: Well.
Noah: Go kill it.
Dren: Yeah, we heard you the first time. What we're wondering is how a water elemental got in your well.
Noah: Because I threw it in there. Dern youngin'. Look, are you gonna do the job or not?
Lyssa: ...I guess so...
Noah: Good. Cause she tastes horrible.
Dren: I don't see anything...
Lyssa: Let's take a closer look. I don't...
Mysterious voice: Hello...
Lyssa: Did you hear that?!
Dren: I did.
Lyssa: Maybe someone really is down there!
Mysterious voice: I'm down here...
Lyssa: I definitely hear a voice!
Dren: Maybe the old man is playing a trick on us...
Splash!Lyssa: Holy smokes!
Strange Woman: I wish thee a good day, Holy smokes.
Lyssa: W-w-whwhat?
Strange Woman: I apologize. Is that not thy name?
Lyssa: No! My name is Lyssa!
Strange Woman: I see. Among my people, it is customary to speak one's name before addressing a soul new to oneself. Forgive me for causing thee confusion. My name is Dyneh.
Lyssa: Wow! There really was a water elemental in the well!
Dyneh: A common misconception. True elementals are much more primal and aggressive. It would be more accurate to refer to me as a "water spirit".
Lyssa: But... whatever you are... What are you doing in the well?
Dyneh: I was summoned by an old man and bound here. I was, apparently, placed here in order to improve the flavor of the water...
Dren: You're kidding.
Dyneh: I truly wish I was.
Lyssa: Uh. So the old man is crazy. Big surprise.
Dyneh: I do not think so. Eccentric, perhaps. But it takes someone with great wisdom and power to summon a spirit like me.
Someone with courage too could wish for anything they wanted. And have you noticed that Dyneh stopped using contractions once she appeared? Now it's all this formal "do not" and "I am" when she stated "I'm down here" before appearing onscreen.Dyneh: Though, I do admit to being a bit uncomfortable. It's really dark down there.
Dren: Why don't you just leave?
Dyneh: Alas, I cannot. Powerful magic binds me to this place.
Dren: You should know that the "wise" old man wants us to kill you.
Dyneh: Ah, I see. He takes pity on me. Destroying this corporeal form would merely set me free. Regrettably, I do not think the two of ye are up to the task. Put simply, I would flatten ye.
Lyssa: Hey, don't count us out.
Dyneh: Perhaps another solution could be found...
The choice appears: "Nope, you gonn' die" or "Keep talking...". And when an ageless spirit of pure elemental force tells me I'm not up to fighting her, I am inclined to believe that. So I let Dyneh think things through.Dyneh: I can sense, faintly, a nearby fairy spring. Doest ye know of such a place?
Dren: Maybe you're talking about the lake northeast of Senn? I've heard stories that fairies live there... But nobody has ever seen any.
Dyneh: The fey are adept at hiding themselves. They would not reveal their forms to mortals without reason. Indeed, I myself only showed this form to ye because of the Fae blood that runs in Holy smoke's veins...
Lyssa: Ha! Suck it, Dren, you loser!
Dren: Whatever, thy holiness.
Dyneh: I believe you are capable of taking me to the spring.
Lyssa: But how will we, uh... take you? You said you were bound here...
Dyneh: I will give ye a small flask of water from this well. My essence will be contained within. If ye pour the water into a suitable spring, I shall be freed... But the water ye release me into must be suitable. Otherwise I will remain bound here... Ye must find the center of the magic spring...
Dren: Well, I've heard about some kind of hidden cave that leads under the lake. We should search for it.
Dyneh; Ye have my gratitude... Here is the water. Take it. And I shall restore thee to thy full powers.
*sparkle sparkle*Lyssa: Wow, that tingles!
Dyneh: Good luck. I shall be here if ye need me...
And Dyneh disappears with another splash."Slime Killer" is no longer Lyssa's middle name. She's Holy smokes now.
